Via a def file. I first call gnatdll to make the DLL, then call MSVC's lib tool to create the import library from a def file. I pored through the cmake configuration removing everything that the would appear to give a transitivedependency, yet the dependencies linger. I'll keep digging, this didn't happen before so something must have changed in the configuration when I merged against master for our code base. > On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 9:59 AM, Tom Kacvinsky > <tom.kacvin...@vectorcast.com> wrote: >> Hi Petr, >> >> >> On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 10:53 AM, Petr Kmoch <petr.km...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> Hi Tom, >>> >>> linking the static archive into the DLL should not be done by >>> add_dependencies(), but by target_link_libraries().
